Molaga Bajji

 
Molaga Bajji is the most tempting sight when you visit any beach in chennai.
Garlands of fresh green chillies make them even more tempting and it is very difficult to have a stroll on the beach without giving it a try.
They have always been my favourite on my every single visit to beach.
At home, there is no match to hot molaga bajjis with tomato sauce on a rainy day.
So here you go........

Ingredients:

Bajji Molaga (Chilli) 4

For the filling:
Boiled and mashed Potatoes 2 medium
Red Chilli powder 1 tsp
Turmeric powder 1 pinch
Salt As per taste

For the batter:
Besan (Gram flour) 1 cup
Rice flour 2 tbsp
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
Turmeric powder 1 pinch
Asafoetida 2 pinch
Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying
Method:

Mix all the ingredients for batter with sufficient water to make a thick batter.
Mix the ingredients for filling and keep aside.
Make long slits into the bajji chillies to stuff filling inside- make sure not to slit them at the stem.
Stuff the chillies with potato filling and dip in the batter to coat well.
Deep fry in hot oil on medium flame till golden brown on all sides.
Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
